It is compulsory for every student to put in the specified number of work hours to clear this subject for the Secondary Examination of the CBSE.

STUDENT BODY

Social leadership and responsibility are best learnt through active participation. A number of student appointments, selected after a careful scrutiny of their school records are entrusted with various responsibilities and share the task of maintaining decorum in the school. Senior student appointments meet the Principal and Vice Principal periodically. The junior wing has a similar system of student appointments.

PREFECTORIAL BODY

A number of Clubs/Societies related to a variety of areas like environment, sports, economics, debate, publication, art, music, social work form an integral part of co-curricular activity in school. Each Club/ Society has only a selected group of students appointed from class XII since they are board examinees. The remaining Appointments will be chosen from class XI. The senior most appointments are the Head Boy and Head Girl under whose guidance the various groups perform their respective duties. Sports occupies a significant position and the sports appointments are important in promoting the spirit of sportsmanship.

This Prefectorial Body comprising nearly 65 members gets selected through an impartial, democratic process. It is voluntary and the selection procedure involves a detailed round of group discussion, 3 interview rounds and even a psychoanalysis test supervised by a group of Faculty members- the Appointment- in-charge and Heads of Departments. In the final round the short listed candidates are interviewed by the Principal. Once selected, the appointments are guided and supervised by faculty members appointed to their specific Club/Society. The ultimate aim is to give interested students the experience of working and managing a small group with specific objectives, thus shaping and honing leadership qualities which will hold them in good stead in the future.

This gesture has been greatly appreciated by young widows / single parent / financially low income families who would otherwise find it difficult to educate their children at DPS.
